Evolution of an Amigurumi Design

Look for a kangaroo coming to the shop soon!

The Yellow Duckie Pattern is now Available!

I just listed the pattern for this Yellow Duckie on my Etsy Shop. I decided just to go for it and see what happens. The pattern is in a PDF file, so I can email it to you and no shipping costs! I'm pretty excited to be offering this pattern.

The pattern is easy to read and follow. I've included color pictures as aids as well as the pattern for the feet. I can be emailed with any questions.

As far as the Poultry Party goes, I didn't win anything. My brother got a Bingo, but 2 other people did too and he drew a low card. I did get very close on quite a few games. They played blackout and I was 1 away from getting it! Oh well, it was fun and the money went to a good cause. Have a good week everyone!

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I've started to toy with the idea of selling some of my patterns on my Etsy store. I've had requests to sell the Duckie pattern at least. I'm starting to think this might be a good idea for the following reasons:

1) No shipping fees/costs or hurrying to the post office on my lunch break or after work
2) Fast to re-list if someone buys it
3) No delays in listing due to making new item

However, I'm hesitant because:

1) Can I write the pattern so other people can understand it?
2) Can I make the pattern look pretty?
3) Will people still buy the duckies I'm so addicted to making?

Hmm... I guess I'm not especially worried someone will sell the duckies from my pattern. And I've been making specialized duckies lately that will still be completely unique to me.

Anyone have any thoughts?

On an unrelated note, my hometown is having a Poultry Party the local fire station is putting on. For those not familiar, a Poultry Party is where you play Bingo for turkeys and sometimes hams and the proceeds go to a local organization. I love going to them. The ones here only cost $.25 a game. I normally lose, but it's still fun! Wish me luck!
